Re Peter's message, the earliest one in my family was Thomas McANTIRE, some in next generation were McENTIRE and some were McIntyre or McEntyre, next generation McIntire, and I think one was McAntyre. LOL - All stemming from the same ancestor. My ma's maiden name wound up being McIntire. She was always emphatic that there was no Y in it. (Little did she know - lol).
